And then this happened...

We just got back from a 5 day trip to Western Australia to visit my FIL for his 65th birthday. We hired an 8-seater van and I drove the family for about 3.5 hours from Perth to Margaret River for the weekend. I've been to almost all of the wine regions in Australia, and I've decided that Margaret River is by far the most picturesque, as it combines a beautiful coastline and surfing beaches with wine country! The trip also coincided with Father's Day in Australia, so it turned out to be a fantastic way to celebrate Father's Day for Chop's Dad and Brother. I also pointed out to Chop that he was already a Father of 2 embryos... but he discounted this as being a father yet. I think for him, he won't consider himself a father until our embryo is able to take his/her first breath! The most important thing for us on this trip was to have some quality time with the family, as it's only been 10 weeks since we lost my MIL. We wanted to take the family out of the daily routine, and have a good time. Did it work? A massive YES! We had such a fun time. Lots and lots of laughter, good food, good wine, and beautiful scenery. I even managed to do an 8km run on Saturday morning!Anyway, here is a few (of the hundreds of) pics we took on this trip. I'll let the pictures tell the story....

In other news, I've just endured 9 days of AF which seemed to gain momentum as the days wore on. My body is doing weird things still (spotting, but yesterday I also saw EWCM??? Go figure). I suppose this might be my body righting itself after my chemical pregnancy in July, but that miscarriage only lasted 4 days! Who knows what's going on with my fertility equipment. I'm just totally relieved to be able to get a better understanding on Thursday when I have my first ultrasound of my FET cycle. I'm glad to be home again with our cats, and I'm feeling relaxed after that little break. Hope you had a nice weekend too :-)
